  • On My Own....

    And now I'm all alone again
    Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
    Without a home, without a friend,
    Without a face to say hello to.
    And now the night is near
    Now I can make believe he's here.

    Sometimes I walk alone at night
    When everybody else is sleeping
    I think of him and then I'm happy
    With the company I'm keeping
    The city goes to bed
    And I can live inside my head.

    On my own
    Pretending he's beside me
    All alone, I walk with him till morning
    Without him
    I feel his arms around me
    And when I lose my way I close my eyes
    And he has found me

    In the rain the pavement shines like silver
    All the lights are misty in the river
    In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
    And all I see is him and me for ever and forever

    And I know it's only in my mind
    That I'm talking to myself and not to him
    And although I know that he is blind
    Still I say, there's a way for us

    I love him
    But when the night is over
    He is gone, the river's just a river
    Without him the world around me changes
    The trees are bare and everywhere
    The streets are full of strangers

    I love him
    But every day I'm learning
    All my life I've only been pretending
    Without me his world will go on turning
    A world that's full of happiness
    That I have never known!

    I love him
    I love him
    I love him
    But only on my own.

  • Had a pretty full on week this week. Heaps of stuff happened and a lot of ups and downs. I guess that is the part and parcel of life....

    Lydia's car broke down and we didn't have transportation to college the whole week. We had to call people up to get a ride. Felt really bad relying on other people for transportation. The people that had been giving us rides had been such an awesome blessing to us especially me I would say. The mechanic came over and check the car. If Lydia would to fix her car, it will cost her more than 1,000 AUD to fix it. The mechanic tell her to get a new second hand car than fixing it because it's not really worth the time and money. The issue now is that Lydia have no money at all to get another and all. Therefore, I am actually planning to raise fund for her to help her out financially. So if any of you want to be a blessing by donating money to me and my housemates, please contact me through my MSN Messenger or e-mail me.

    Encounterfest was happening in church from Thursday till today. It was really happening I would say. The preacher, Judah Smith; is such an awesome speaker. He is just hilarious and he brings you into the story and impact lives. He is just awesome. There were 3 guys that came from the Bronx, USA. These people are full on breakdancers. They are just awesome man. Very talented people. They have foodstalls setup outside near the parking lot, pampering section for the girls, street basketball, skating park and et cetera.

    As for tonight, we recorded United Live album in the Convention Centre. It was the very first time that the youth ministry in Hillsong had their meetings or recording in the Convention Centre. They normally have it in the Ministry Centre which is a little bit smaller. There were heaps of people there and the place was packed. As for the songs, man, it's extremely cool. You guys really need to get hold of the album when it is out next year. It's very different, very rock'ish', just different.

    Today I was confronted by someone that was pretty harsh to me. Well, I learned that I am stronger and it doesn't bother me at all now because I know that the enemy will always try to pull me down and make me feel small, intimidated and sulky. I was having a pretty good time in Encounterfest. Had some really good conversation with Jerry, Ashley (it's a guy alright!) and some other people. There has been some pretty serious things that happened for the past few days as well but I am not going to mention here because it's pretty personal. I felt really bad and regret all the things that I had said. I hope things does not affect our friendship.

    I realized that sometimes being a friend that cares is just so hard. You want the best for your friends but on the other hand, you don't want to cross the line or be too extreme. But when things happened and you did not advise them or grab hold of their hand when they are falling, it seems like you are a friend. On the other hand, if you are too nice, people might think that you rather spend time with your friends than someone you like (kinda sounded like lesbians or gay). Things are just so confusing. I don't know. I really need to think straight and keep my mouth shut when things comes into my path.

    Alright, need to sleep now. It's 4 a.m. Good nite!

  • Wow...can't believe that I had not blog for a very long time. So sorry for those that keep on coming here and waiting for an update. So sorry . Life was really busy for the past 2 weeks. Although my schedule and time table for classes is really flexible and there are heaps of time to do my own stuff, things just never happens. It's just like the saying, "things will never turn out the way we expect it to be or we want it."

    I just finished doing my Fundamentals of Missions assignment which was due today. Lydia and I stayed up till almost about 4 am doing it. Sigh...it was so frustrating because I am not confident in the paper and part of me just want to give up and not doing it at all. But I am glad that I have already handed it in and now I can just pray and see how it goes.

    I am really sleepy now...therefore I am going to take a nice nap since it has been raining since last night. So, it's going to be a cool nap! Heh...I'll update this blog when I am fully awake...night...

  • It has been 1 week since I have last blogged. Not that I am lazy, I have been quite busy lately. And probably another reason is because MAYBE I am influenced by Eric by his "no inspiration" disease. Hmm...Maybe. Had an exam on Friday, it was good. The questions and all are quite easy but the worst thing is that my lecturer kept on talking during the whole test thingy. The test questions are projected onto a huge screen. My lecturer read the questions which was alright. He gave us like less than 1 minute to write down our answers and during that 1 minute he kept on talking. ARGH!!!!!! It is so hard to do a test when I have voice in my head. I just can't think!

    I also got back my results for Term 2 (which was last term). I did really well in some subjects and some alright. The best part is that I can't believe that for once in my life that I got a HD! (high distinction). I am soooooo flippin happy!!!!! I also can't believe that I got a distinction for Leadership 2. I only got a credit for this subject last term and this term I got a distinction. Really am happy.

    I had been doing a lot of thinking and soul searching for the past few days. I don't deny that there has been a lot of things that has been happening in my life. I have decided that I will no longer care about certain things or have the desire to know on them as well. Reason is because if I do, it will drag me from moving forward. It might sound selfish but that is what I have decided to do at a moment. I just want to concentrate on my studies and move forward. Thinking about it now, I might not come back end of the year. This is one of the main reason, secondly is because I want to attend Planet Shakers concert in early January and I want to see Third Day here in Hillsong. So...I'm still thinking about it....
